The crew of the defender had renewed the broken halyards and gaff which caused their sloop to withdraw yesterday, giving the first con- Ltest to Sir Thomas Lipton, and the Flrish baronet's yachting forces had f replaced the weakened bowsprit with which, unbeknown to thousands who watched her, the Shamrock had slipped across the finish line. The bowsprit iron had worked in board on the Shamrock, so that if the Resolute had not been forced out of the race by an accident, the Shamrock, deprived of head sails, would doubtless have been left hopelessly astern. This became known only today when a new bowsprit was stepped.Betting odds in Wall 'Street today on the America's cup yachts' races were, on the series, even money, on tomorrow's race six to five on the Resolute.
